About The Position

Concorde Education seeks qualified independent contractor instructors for current and future school-based K–12 enrichment programs at schools and community partner locations. Instructors introduce students to specialized subjects, practical skills, and interests beyond the traditional classroom. Teaching certification is not necessarily required; relevant experience in coaching, professional practice, tutoring, mentoring, youth development, or specialized instruction may qualify candidates for consideration.

Programs may cover technology and innovation, science and engineering, creative arts, academic development, games and critical thinking, health and recreation, practical and career skills, and other specialties.

Most assignments offer $50–$65 per instructional hour, although rates may vary by opportunity, location, expertise, experience, and program demands. Specific compensation and assignment details are communicated before acceptance.
